Of Sinks and Spring
Living gratefully today, I appreciate the ways that we and others can continue "business as usual." I am also grateful for the sound of wind chimes.
Wind chimes amid winds of change. "Social distancing" and "flattening the curve" have become overnight sensations in the world of commonly-used phrases. How can we each do our part to help slow the spread of COVID-19? How can we be most responsible about our "social distancing" while still staying connected and sane, and getting some things done?
Life goes on. It goes on like it did during other difficult times in our nation's and world's history. It allows the important cogs in the wheels of civilization to keep moving. In turn, that allows humans to see some hope, sense some lightness at heavy times.
We had some plans for putting in a new kitchen sink and bathroom vanity well underway before this last week. Products ordered, installment appointments made. Do we keep them or not?
With the local companies who have been doing the work doing a nice job of communicating their procedures and safeguards, we proceeded. We are happy with the results. And happy to contribute to the economic machine that is also a human machine with names like Eric, Matt, and Todd.
New sinks and drains. New struggles and challenges. A new and different spring underway. In my part of the world, the wind is brisk and the air cold this morning, but the sun is shining. I am heartened. How are you all doing?
